trust me … that is the plan

Looks fine

Why?

What we are seeing usually are coming from vehicles that have overheated at some point. Usually from a failed radiator. Every valley plate we have done we have done a radiator as well. But we have seen very few valley plate leaks. We have...

Or make them work and buy their own cars. When they have to pay for their own maintenance and repairs they quickly pivot.

I’m a big guy, almost 6’4” and ~275 lbs and I think these seats were made for me. No stupid bolsters that dig into my kidneys and sides of my thighs, and just enough thigh support for long drives. I do wish the seats went a bit lower because...

Ive driven a lot of cars and trucks. Other than Volvo (pre 2015) and recent Bentley, Land Cruiser front seats are the most comfy. But it is super objective. I’m 6’3” and a fit 200 lbs. Your mileage may vary.

Why the 200? It just works. Forever if well maintained. A little less if not. Same as the 100, the 80, the 60,... My 200 is 10 years old this fall. Never an issue over a lot of miles. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere with a...

Easily the most important factor on “warped” brake rotors (actually uneven pad deposits)

And driving style. I have plenty of life left in my factory pads/rotors on my Tundra at 61k miles. Static load of a few hundred lbs with 285/75R18s.

I went back with oem front rotors and pads( for an 08).I think it was like $280 shipped from Lexus in Scottsdale, Az. I got a hardware kit from autozone for $10. The old rotors and pads were not oem. Pads had plenty of life left, and the rotors...

If you want to get a little adventurous you can take onion creek and finish off the rest of the Kokopelli trail which is very tame going up into the La Sals. There’s nothing difficult at.

I’d agree with onion creek, just be sure to treat it as an out and back trail

Different Thread. It was a new version of KO2 that was made of slightly harder rubber and is near indestructible. Will not wear down BUT loses some snow/rain performance slightly due to rubber being harder. Over 110K miles on mine and still...

Yeah - my 200 prep sounds similiar to yours. I really like the drives as recommended above. Depending on the mapping source, stick to the greens or 2-3 rated trails. Still a lot of fun out there. I would add Onion Creek by Fisher Towers, the...

If you’re pretty new to off-roading, stick to the green trails. Potash road, Shafer switchbacks into Canyonlands, maybe the back way into arches or chicken corners. You’re extremely unlikely to need recover gear on those or risk any damage...

DT?

Yeah in my garage (actually a 40x60 foot pole barn) i keep some boats, airplane parts, kayaks, some snow machines, ATVs, etc. Garages are for toys not cars.

Beach houses are finicky. Depend on design or elevation…some don’t have garage…you park under your house. Or if they have garage it is just one car…he may have another car in there that is more valuable or a golf cart, etc.

You all may be missing the point. This exact bunch of comments is exactly what he and every other YouTuber does for a living. He doesn’t buy or drive a car except to provide content. He may very well have said ‘Make that bill as high as...

Fluid film and dirt would have prevented all of that rust. My 100 has sat less that 100' from the North Pacific Ocean since 1998 and has zero rust underneath or the body except for rock chips on the hood.

Dude has a net worth pushing $100 mil. These cars are used for content (write offs). Even if it was the perfect car, he could lease a new g-wagon, make a couple of videos, and then sell it on his own website for a profit. $13k is a rounding...

Love my stock sized K02 in Load range E. I like the ride, the noise (I’m half deaf from flying my Beaver), and the handling. But I’m old school.

Unless the oil is foaming, drive on

When businesses are so hyper focused on profit for the sake of profit, that's their death knell. When they are focused on delivering value to their customers, that delivers profits, is the recipe for sustainability. Boeing has been visited by...
